1951 Rare and famous photograph of young Mickey Mantle at the Commerce Lead and Zinc Mine in Oklahoma and chatting with his father for one of the last times as he would die in early 1952. We have seen this image in publication before but never original form, making this new discovery an important one in the hobby. Clearly vintage and dated from 1952 on the back, the photo was deemed "inconclusive" by PSA as to whether it was a Type 1 or Type 3 but we feel it a Vintage 1 example. Please keep this in mind when bidding. The photo has a crease from editorial use but the quality is quite nice and the vintage makes it a special piece.
